“When even one American who has done nothing wrong is forced by fear or intimidation to shut his mind and close his mouth then all Americans are in peril.” These were the words of Harry Truman.
Is this what is happening on the Rutgers campuses? It seems that 100 Socialistic Democratic and Muslim professors at the college have called out for Rice’s invitation to be rescinded. What are they afraid of – of being proven their thinking is time-warped? One professor, H. Bruce Franklin, who objected to the honorary degree Rice would have received, stated “AMONG OTHER THINGS,” (be specific, what among other things are you talking about – you don’t just throw words around without any explanation – I would think being a professor you would understand, clarity), A WAR CRIMINAL.” It seems a letter was published that stated, “EFFORT TO MISLEAD THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ABOUT THE PRESENCE OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.” These people will never be convinced – weren’t those weapons of mass destruction hauled over to Syria by Hussein? How does this Prof feel about 9/11, I bet he thinks George Bush caused it, too! And, how does he feel about water-boarding? Don’t they know, we were just trying to show those Muslims how Christians baptize people (stealing a line from Sarah Palin)! I bet this prof doesn’t like her either.
But you know what, this commencement exercise at Rutgers is for the graduates not the professors. So why are the professors getting so bent out of shape. If they don’t like the speaker, just don’t go to the commencement exercise.
Where are the conservative professors at this college and why are they not standing up for Rice? Betcha they don’t have any of those either. The University President should be fired for not standing up for all of the students at this college. Isn’t the state furnishing funds for these people to be able to RANT? Let’s hear something from the other side or do they have a “no conservatives allowed” sign at the entrance gate?
Do these Socialist Democrats and Muslims on campus not know what DIVERSITY means? It seems these professors voted to invite Pelosi to speak on campus on the subject of women and politics and give a demonstration on how to “wash a professor’s feet.” I bet that will cost extra!

I was disappointed to see Condoleezza Rice not stand up for her right as an American citizen. This is what is wrong with Americans today – they let these pushy progressive professors and students, who are a minority, push them into silence. We have to stand up to these Muslims and Communists. We cannot win unless we fight for our “freedom of speech.” They are trying take over this country and not share it.

One of the protestors appeared on Megan Kelly’s, Fox News, tonight, and was representing the protestors. He stated they would continue to call out the politicians who commit crimes. Strange, who named them to be the judge and jury! Are they citizens of this country or students with visas attending college? It seems the loudest mouths shown on television were a number of screaming Muslim women. Didn’t seem very lady like – maybe Rutgers needs to have a “public displays of manner” class. Who is in charge at this college – no one seemed to own up to being the adult in the room?

Two protestors appeared on Megan’s show again trying to explain their point of view. They tried to explain why they were protesting. They only wanted to be heard. Goodness, who wasn’t listening? Where were all of those liberal professors who first started this protest. They got all of these students worked up about this criminal conservative that had been invited to speak and then what did they do – they went and hid and let these students do their dirty work. It seemed the college had a hard time trying to find someone to fill Ms. Rice’s shoes or at least they made several decisions, rescinded the decision, and then ended with a liberal governor – how boring – no challenge for the graduates’ minds – just a continuing drum beat of liberalism. What will he tell the graduates – “now that you are graduating – there are no jobs available?” Now if a conservative would have been invited, they would have told them – as soon as we undo this liberal red tape in the country – you will be exposed to the world of “capitalism.”

Rutgers gave another blow to freedom of speech by banning Rice to speak at their campus. Withholding information gives power to those (professors and administration) who wish to control their victims (students). Rutgers is clearly indoctrinating students in one-sided political views without allowing debate.
